Vacation rentals in Templeton

This was a large beautiful home with a ton of character. We were in town for a wedding and wanted to stay together as a family instead of at a hotel so we could hang out after putting the kids to bed. This was an awesome house for our situation, having tons of beds/upstairs bedrooms. We were able to fit our entire family and separate the kids from the noise on the main level! We were so grateful to find this place that fit our needs perfectly. It was a very well taken care of place and made our stay work out perfectly!

Molly was a great host and very helpful when we had questions and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable for our family. Her home was very clean, the furniture was really comfortable, and the home was on an active farm surrounded by beautiful and peaceful farm land. The home is also only about 10 minutes to Adel which has a cute little downtown area with several resturants and only about a half hour to the West end of Des Moines which had a lot of shopping and activity. It was a perfect stay for us.

house was great! we were in town for my daughter's wedding and our whole family had room to get ready and visit at the house! loved it!

What a great place! Plenty of room and well furnished. Spotlessly clean. My 90 year old grandparents were even able to visit and have dinner with us with all the living area on the first floor. The lake was a wonderful backdrop for photos and relaxing to sit and watch the waves. In April it was a bit too chilly to enjoy any watersports!

We loved staying at the house. From the gorgeous heart pine floors to the coffee station it was such a pleasant respite. Water pressure great for showers. Convenient half bath downstairs. Internet was perfect. We rode on the Rail explorer. Everyone should do it! Loved the restaurants. We tried barbecue and Mexican. Wish we could have stayed longer. Thanks Alison. You have done a great job making our stay memorable.

Second time staying. Love how peaceful it is. Great place to get away from everything, yet close enough to places to eat or shop.

Six friends met here for the second time - first time in 2021 (college friends who meet annually). We found it peaceful and comfortable. More wonderful memories for us!

Amber went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Her 100 year+ home is in a historic district of Council Bluffs adjacent to the Gilbralter Neighborhood Trailhead. Several of our family members took advantage of its proximity and went hiking during our visit. Her home is a mix of old and new - 19th and early 20th century craftsmanship, such as a beautiful central staircase, combined with 21st century technology such as WiFi, and numerous televisions throughout the expansive home. Fun amenities include a pinball machine and a treadmill for exercise. My family especially enjoyed competing on the pinball machine. Amber’s home was stocked with all sorts of treats ranging from muffins to a charcuterie tray. Whenever we had a question either about something in the home or some activity in the area, Amber was very quick to respond. I’ve stayed in numerous vacation rental properties. This one stands out in all the right ways. I would definitely recommend.
